Hey batter batter!

We said goodbye to Disneyland this morning with another included buffet breakfast and got to take full advantage of a noon checkout by being able to do our washing and lounge a bit as Bec is getting sick so a slow start was welcome before continuing our journey.

We jumped back onto the train and headed to the ward of Shibuya. Fortunately, though known as having one of the busiest stations in the world, it wasn't too crazy for us. We arrived at our hotel, conveniently nearby the station and were able to check in a little early, win!

After grabbing a hot drink we relaxed for a while in our new home for the next week or so. Then eventually it was time to head out for our main event for the day: Baseball!

After a ~40 minute walk we arrived near the stadium, grabbed a quick pint and some merch and then headed in. We found our seats and the game started shortly after. While neither of us have really watched baseball before, we were definitely very impressed by Japan's enthusiasm for the sport! Both team's fans were chanting and singing the entire way through the game with barely a lull.

We took full advantage of the drinks ladies walking up and down the bleachers, and around half way through the game Phill headed off to try and grab some snacks... He ended up with some LONG POTATO (very long french fries) and... A dozen hard boiled quail eggs... Whoops. They were okay but much too rich to eat that many.

After singing along to chants we didn't know and a 3 hour game it was over and our team lost! But did we really lose? The win was the experience we had along the way.

We decided to walk back home, taking us back an alternative way we wandered the side alleys and weaved amongst streets. Japan has been so much fun to walk at night, its so beautiful, quiet and peaceful.

We got back to the accom and prepared for a early big day tomorrow.
